Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 395

It was a quadrangle in City Q.

After Bernice returned, Emma kept staying in her room. Deon almost didn't see her all day long. To be exact, he did not see either Emma or her mom.

Every day he would have someone send bird's nests or supper to impress them. He wished they wouldn't forget him. After all, he was Bernice's husband and Emma's father.

However, Bernice was too determined. Ever since she returned, she had locked herself in the room and seen no one except Emma. Deon and his men were at their wit's end.

Since Deon was upset, his men had to pretend being in a bad mood. Otherwise, Deon would definitely punish them.

However, Bernice inside her room was not as melancholy as they had imagined.

Bernice was still child-like. After crying for a while with Emma in her arms, she lay on the bed beside Emma and chatted with her about what happened and who she encountered in the past few years. They laughed incessantly when they talked about something funny.

"After these years, I finally understood what you said back then." Bernice sighed. "No wonder the poets all advocate freedom. I was silly to be infatuated with the life a confined bird."

Emma only pursed her lips and smiled.

"I've decided. I'll follow you wherever you go. I'll rent an apartment near your place and hang out with my peers. That'll be good." Bernice said with a smile. "Aging is a terrible thing. Ever since you left, I've got a lot of gray hair."

Emma tilted her head and saw that Bernice had many more gray hairs.

"Are you having a hard time these years?" Bernice caressed Emma's palm and said, "Your hand callouses."

"Not really." Emma said.

"How did you get your money?" Bernice asked.

Emma said, "I brought quite a lot with me when I left. I didn't spend much. I took good jobs along the way."

"When I came back, I heard that you were in trouble. I never found a chance to take care of you. I'm so glad you weren't injured. I was always afraid to see you on the news one day. I was worried that you weren't running away from home but instead kidnapped by someone. But no one called for ransom. Your father couldn't find you. I was so angry and worried that I couldn't sleep well every day...."

"I was afraid that Dad would blame you, so I didn't dare to tell you."

"Thankfully, you wrote me a letter. That's when I realize it's time to let it go. What's the point of making a fuss here? Why not go out and have fun?" Bernice turned around and gently hugged Emma. "I thought I would never see you again. You're my only daughter. You're so cruel to shut me out."

"You look thin."

"You get thinner."

They said that together and then laughed at the same time.

"Are you still leaving?" Bernice asked.

"What about you?" Emma asked.

Bernice pinched Emma's nose and said, "I just told you. I'll go wherever you go."

"Mom, actually I..." Emma hesitated and said, "I didn't run away just to seek freedom."

"Then why?" Bernice covered her mouth with surprise. "Did you elope with someone?"

Emma pursed her lips and said, "I was pregnant."

"Oh, pregnant..." Bernice paused and suddenly sat up. She stared at Emma's belly for a long time before looking at her face. "Where's the child?"

Emma said, "How could the baby still in my belly?"

Bernice jumped up, "You have given birth, haven't you?"

"Yes. It's a boy."

"Well, is he cute?" Bernice looked surprised. She paused and looked at her discontentedly, "You have given birth to a child before you're married. Why didn't you tell me? Being pregnant without a husband is not a good thing. Even I had a wedding as your father's fourth wife." She waved her hand, "Never mind. Is the baby cute? Does he look like you?"
